maybe the lawyer phase is where the campaign fundraising disparity becomes a big difference

if Biden has $100MM more to pay lawyers with he can buy better / all the lawyers and win that way

It’s not insignificant. Funneling via Senate connections is also likely to dry up. But the Alyssa Milano gravy train is basically endless.
Alyssa Milano’s gravy train sounds pretty good to me.

With a fence around the White House and an army of lawyers.

It’s pretty obvious that preventing Pennsylvania from starting their vote count early the way other states do was so that they could then sue to stop the counting, and thus limit the number of early ballots that get counted at all.

Once your strategy becomes “don’t let votes that trend blue get counted, while praising supporters who go out and harass people,” you’re hip deep in anti-democratic territory. And if you’re hip deep in that stuff already, you’re probably not intending to come back ashore.

If the above techniques don’t deliver him a “victory,” then he’ll just call voter fraud and reject the results.

We need some optimism so how’s this?

In 24 hours, we may very well know the outcome of this election. With that ever so questionable polling showing many things, we do at least know early voting turnout has been huge - perhaps huge enough to turn one of two states blue - Texas or Florida. Should Biden take either, we’ll be cruising’. If Biden takes both, I may be going to bed early.

For some reason this sentiment reminds me of a tweet I saw. And for some reason I can’t post tweets from my phone but the copy/paste:
Dems are up 9 in the polls and panicking like crazy, Republicans are down 9 and still full GOP LANDSLIDE BITCH
Pretty crazy!

I’ve had a few people IRL use “landslide for trump” this week when talking to them. He’s got his 10% chance but not for a landslide.

Though I would argue that we were already in the bad place.
